The White House is preparing to host a much smaller ceremony for Ramadan amid Arab-American anger at Joe Biden and fears the event would be boycotted by prominent Muslims.
Traditionally, the president hosts hundreds of Muslim leaders from around the country for an Eid al-Fitr celebration, which marks the end of Ramadan, the holiest month of the Muslim calendar.
But the White House has discussed limiting invitations this year to a smaller group of administration officials and ambassadors from Muslim-majority nations, officials told Politico.

Ceremony? For a religion?
What happened to separation of church and state? Or does that only apply to Christians?

And tell me again why the White House is even celebrating Ramadan in the first place? A celebration for a 'political system', not a religion, that celebrates be-heading those who don't follow their edicts, or treats women like trash, or mutilates members?

IIRC The Shrub started the muzzie celebrations in our White House. I could never figure out why. They hate us.

Just curious - do the embassies of Muslim countries host Christmas or Easter celebrations?

If the occasion is black or muslim the White House is always willing to pander for votes. I'm surprised they let Biden shirk his Obama-driven duties.

Since when do we celebrate Ramadan? Are we going to use the Koran now in court instead of the Bible to take out oat or has that tradition been trashed by the Left already?

I confess that I am not up to speed on Muslim holidays. Is Ramadan the one where they trample each other? I always bet the over.

Islam is a barbarian death cult. Muslims should be excluded from the USA.

Ummm...isn't Ramadan associated with the death cult whose holy book teaches the following:
"Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them." koran 2:191
"The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them."... koran 9:30
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. Koran 8:12
"Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." koran 9:123
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" koran 5:33
"When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." koran 9:5
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." koran 3:85
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." koran 22:19
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." koran 8:65
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." koran 3:28
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." koran 8:60
"We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority." Koran 3:151
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]." — Koran 47:4,
Until muslims rip out these passages from their Korans, then my only choice is to believe they endorse them...and I ain't havin' it.

Biden could always skip the Ramadan celebration and just have a Friday night Seder dinner with some Jewish families. Better yet, how about a big pig roast to celebrate the end of the Ramadan "fast".

The Obama forces behind Brandon are pro-Muslim and anti-Israeli, but after the atrocities on October 7, directly taking Hamas's side against Israel is much more challenging for these people who are trying as best they can to hide the evil within themselves and their allies, some of whom are terrorists. It's nice seeing Islamic furor at Biden, who would like to do everything his old boss tells him to do, but can't because the Israelis were viciously attacked. Let us hope that Hamas is completely wiped out with none left to plan more evil. Wipe the slate completely clean of Hamas. Let none survive.

As a Christian I'm called names like Blackfaced White Nationalist, bigot, Ultra MAGA extremist etc. But the mumbling mummy in my White House will go out of his way not to upset the wacko practitioners of the so-called religion of peace? What utter poppycock.
